JT Compher over Kasper...wtf Yzerman said young players wouldnt be given a roster spot which is great...he also said that if they played their way onto the roster that room would be made for them. Basically he's saying that he wouldnt keep up one of his atrocious free agent signings on the team over a young player thats out played them yet that's exactly whats happen here. I'm so sick of watching average hockey night after night. Take a page from the Tigers get rid of these vet bums with bloated contracts that they arent earning...it destroys the culture....instead play your youth as this team isnt winning a cup for another 5 years anyway. Detroit is loaded with young talent bring them up.
Yeah I'll take an NHL center with 7 yrs experience who had 20 goals and 50pts last season over a rookie any day. People need to stop thinking we have Lucas Raymond waiting in the AHL still cuz we don't. There's no reason why we can't wait for cap space to free up via trade or expiration to them see a rookie play. Playoffs or bust is not a viable strategy for this team right now.
Mismanagement of the goalies? We had Reimer as a functioning goalie. How cracked do you have to be to realize how crippled our team was with Husso AND Lyon hurt; not to mention how impactful the Larkin injury was. Should it be that way no but nobody plans on that sort of thing happening. You should be grateful you got what you did out of Lyon and that Larkin didn't suffer any worse head injuries. but hey playoffs or bust mentality am I right? 1. Rookies can still make the team mid season. 2. Do our team additions outweigh the subtractions? 3. Give Husso a chance to perform healthy and improve. 4. Can Johansson and Edvinsson improve the D core. Btw Yzerman manages the lineup not LaLonde. We've improved our pts total every year, people need to stop calling for the hook because their feelings get hurt by managerial decision making with nothing but hard feelings to go off of.
The crunch time for the wings will be in a 2 or 3 years when all the bad contracts are gone

Copp is the real confusing one, at least Compher can skate. Copp looks like he’s in quicksand every shift😭

Here's my vote of no confidence in newsy. His mismanagement of the goalies last year did it for me.
